On 23 August 1997 at 0845 hours, Lance Naik Shamsher Singh was manning the 106-mm recoilless gun at his isolated forward post in the Uri Sector near the Line of Control when the enemy started Heavy Machine Gun fire on his post. In retaliatory firing he successfully engaged an enemy bunker, completely destroying it and lulling two enemy soldiers. However in the process he too was grievously wounded by the splinters of an enemy mortar shell. Refusing to be evacuated, he assumed control of the 84-mm rocket launcher detachment and destroyed another bunker besides killing one more enemy soldier. The valiant NCO breathed his last while still firing his gun in a semi-conscious state.
